If not for The Hunger Games, Reign might never have existed. The youth-oriented costume drama isn’t so much a young, modernized update on Charles Jarrott’s 1971 epic Mary, Queen of Scots as it is an extended music video, with young women in their late teens and early 20s behaving heroically, while all around them their elders behave like scum.

How do you follow up a successful soundtrack featuring the twin towers of music: Arcade Fire and Taylor Swift? If you're the music supervisor for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, you get Coldplay, Christina Aguilera and a cornucopia of respected musical acts to create original music.
